Last Caress
France, 76 min, english subtitled
French directors Gaillard and Robin describe their own movies as ‘GLAMCULT’: bloody slasher movies influenced by Dario Argento and Brian de Palma, but with the great art direction that we knoe from frech arthouse cinema and erotic movies.
A perverted killer with shades and a slick lether suit brutally kills five very sexy young woman. His employers are looking for an ancient picture of a witch who also haunts the woman.
References to Argento are numerous: the killer is an Italian, and the story unfolds around a witch, just like in Argento’s witchcraft-trilogy. In using a seventies style electro soundtrack (Double Dragon) tribute is paid musically as well to the Italian director, who used music by ‘Goblin’.
